Sigma CP Overview The Sigma CP range of conventional fire control panels are high specification, fully featured control units designed for the most demanding of conventional fire detection and alarm system applications. Sigma CP is available with two, four or eight detection zones in standard or installation saving, two wire versions. The extensive range of configuration features available ensure suitability for new installations or panel replacements on older systems. Configuration options are stored in non-volatile memory and are easily accessed via an intuitive user interface which allows the configuration data to be viewed and changed simply and easily. Sigma CP control panels are compatible with most standard, conventional detectors, call points and sounders and are also compatible with two wire detector bases from Apollo and Hochiki. An integral three Amp power supply and temperature compensated battery charger provides ample power for the two, 0.5 Amp rated standard sounder outputs, zonal sounder outputs on two wire versions and an auxiliary 24V supply output. Powerful Features The simple and intuitive programming interface on Sigma CP panels allows simple configuration of many parameters by entering simple codes which are listed on the inner door look up table and in the operation and maintenance manual. Configurable options include sounder delays, short circuit triggering of zones, nonlatching zones, silent zones, I.S. barrier compatible zones and system disablements. Connectivity Sigma CP control panels have a dedicated; two wire serial bus for connection of repeater panels, Ancillary relay boards or zonal sounder extension boards. Up to seven units may be connected to the serial bus which can be up to 1200 metres in length. All units connected to the serial bus are fully monitored and the control panel will announce a fault condition showing the address and type of any units that fail or are disconnected after the panel has been configured to recognize them. Compatible Equipment & Extras Sigma CP-R Repeater Panel See DS39 Sigma CP Ancillary PCB See page 39 Conventional Fire Detection Two wire versions of Sigma CP can have detectors, call points and standard, polarized sounders connected to the same two core cable, greatly reducing installation time and cost on some installations. These two wire versions also provide the capability of zonal sounders which may be configured as zonal alarm (sounders operate only in the zone of activation), common alarm (all sounders in all zones operate) or two-stage alarm (sounders are continuous in the zone of activation and pulsing in all other zones). Ease of Installation The elegant and simple construction of the panel enables the chassis to be completely dismantled by removing just two screws. The outer cover can also be detached by removing two hinge pins making first fix installation very simple and enabling the sensitive electronic parts to be stored safely for re-fitting at the commissioning stage. Sigma Sounder - Sounder Controller Units See DS48 Sigma CP panels combine compact and practical styling with the programming power and connectivity required for the most complex and demanding conventional fire alarm system installations. 29

Sigma CP-A Overview The Sigma CP-A AlarmSense range consists of a series of conventional, 2, 4 and 8 zone fire alarm control panels.. The AlarmSense system enables all detection and sounder devices in a given zone to be wired to the same pair of cables thus greatly reducing the cabling and installation requirements and hence costs. The AlarmSense range of devices includes smoke and heat detectors, call points, base sounders, base sounder/beacons and relay units all wired to the same pair of cables. Having sounders and sounder beacons installed on the same cabling as detectors and call points allows all systems to be configured for common, zonal or two stage alarm by simply setting one of the panels configuration options. Selection of the AlarmSense local alarm feature at sounder or sounder beacon bases invokes the alarm verification feature. This is particularly useful in Houses of Multiple Occupation such as student accommodation or nursing homes. When sounder or sounder beacon bases are selected for local alarm mode, alarms are restricted such that only the sounder connected to the activated detector will operate initially. The panel will attempt to reset the activated detector after a time delay and if successful no further alarms are sounded. If the detector re-activates after being reset, a general alarm will sound throughout the premises. Activation of a second detector or a call point will sound the general alarm immediately. The alarm verification feature of the Sigma CP-A control panel greatly reduces the risk of unwanted alarms or call outs while still providing secure, high quality fire protection throughout the premises. All control panels have an integral, 3 Amp mains powered battery charger and power supply capable of providing power to the most demanding of applications.

Sigma Matrix Overview Sigma Matrix is an innovative fire alarm mimic system which can be connected to any system providing volt free contacts or a switched 24V DC supply. The Sigma Matrix system uses flexible, fibre optic light guides to illuminate areas on a floor plan, laid over a high resolution grid. This unique system dispenses completely with wiring and enables indicators to be moved, removed or added on site without the need for any wiring. Sigma Matrix can be supplied with or without common LEDs and controls. Optional LEDs indicate Power on, Fire, Fault and Disablement and optional controls are for Alarm silence, Buzzer silence, Lamp test and Reset. Housed in attractive, slimline enclosures to match and with high quality, full colour or monochrome floor plans, Sigma Matrix provides a clear, geographical indication of fire alarm or other system activation enabling speedy identification of the source of an alarm or other event. Future Proofing The Sigma Matrix is ideal for buildings such as hospitals where the building layout may evolve over a period of time. As the building changes, so too can Sigma Matrix, with very little cost or disruption. Modifying the mimic is very straightforward and can be carried out on site without the need for any wiring or special tools. The positions of the indicators can be freely moved anywhere on the grid and new indicators can be added using kits of lenses and light pipes which are available. Additional mimic PCB s are also available in kit form to enable the capacity of the mimic to be increased as required. Custom Solutions Where the requirements of the installation exceed the standard range of Sigma Matrix panels, completely bespoke solutions are available.
